Frank Sinatra's widow dismissed as "phony"reports that the late singer may have fathered Mia Farrow's son, Ronan,

"I can't hardly believe that. It's just a bunch of junk. There's always junk written - lies that aren't true," Barbara Sinatra, 85, who has a home in Rancho Mirage, Ariz., told The Desert Sun.

Mia Farrow, 68, told Vanity Fair's November issue that Sinatra is "possibly" the father of her son Ronan, 25, but says no paternity tests were ever done. Ronan, a former Rhodes scholar and special adviser to the State Department under Hillary Clinton, was long believed to be the son of director Woody Allen. He was originally named Satchel, but now goes by Ronan.

Commenting on the story on Twitter, Ronan wrote Wednesday, "Listen, we're all *possibly* Frank Sinatra's son."
